Marilyn went to work early. I had been planning to go in, but fell back asleep. So when she was departing, I was awake, but NOT ready to go ( Read more... )

I let myself sleep in until 8:30 -- which was lovely. Then I got up and got ready for my ultrasound appointment ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I watched a movie On Demand today, the 2015 film "Woman in Gold." Helen Mirren was amazing in this true-life story about an elderly Jewish refugee living in California who fought the government of Austria for almost a decade to reclaim the iconic painting of her aunt (Portrait of Adele Bloch-Bauer I) which was stolen from her relatives ( Read more... )

I'm sick of cold weather. Sick of it. My flare-up remains in effect, meaning I've got out of control psoriasis. And my joints are messed up and painful, especially my hip.

And then go to the Newsmakers banquet tonight (for the first time ( Read more... )

As it nears 4:30 a.m., I'm sitting up at my computer with a very sour mouth. I just threw up and might need to throw up again. Sweet Colin has been following me around the house, lying next to me, on the counter when I've been in the bathroom and even sticking his head in the door after I threw up. He's really trying hard to look after me ( Read more... )

Marilyn and I finally got down to Kruger's Farm on Sauvie Island today, to u-pick green tomatoes. It's hard to believe we're going for the FIRST TIME this year on the last day of August ( Read more... )

I did almost nothing today. I just don't feel good. This thing is in my chest, so now I'm coughing. And I'm not over the laryngitis. Yeah, I remember that it said two weeks -- and I'm not quite there, yet. But I'm certainly sick of being sick ( Read more... )
